01. Rooftop panels convert sunlight to energy Solar panels on homes and businesses in the area convert sunlight to energy. Excess energy not used by household is exported to the Village Power battery. Typically there is surplus generated in the middle of the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/e14a5384-4a24-427a-bc85-3424b6b29671/noun_Battery_2030246%2B%281%29.png How it works - 02. Excess energy is stored at a community battery bank Excess energy is stored in a community shared battery. The battery absorbs the excess energy generated the network, which can be dangerous, and makes it available in the evening when it is more useful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/f908cc04-7aeb-472e-abd5-5a3a4cc17366/noun_House%2BEcology_2030255.png How it works - 03. Participating homes draw power from energy bank Participating homes can draw energy from the battery when they need it. So energy generated by sun in the middle of the day can be used when most people are at home in the evenings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/8ced7834-4d0a-457b-85f5-be402bd0120c/noun_electric%2Bpole_2030268.png How it works - 04. Community battery bank sells excess energy to the national grid At times of peak demand, the spot price of electricity can be very high. The Village Power bank may sell some energy to the national electrcity grid at peak times, helping to reduce the price of power for the network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/1692168989630-ZHO10BMH85U178CIZ46G/image-asset.jpeg How it works - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/9cd4e69f-4754-4a14-ac53-e14c903e80a4/image-asset.jpg How it works - What does our future look like? Village Power is working to make solar power more financially feasible for our community through better rates for the power, a shared community battery and bulk buying of panels. We want to work with business and industry, community and all levels of government to install solar power on more residential rooftops, as well as targeting and installing large arrays of panels on industrial and commercial roofs in the area. Our long-term vision is zero carbon energy powering our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/fa2c3e8a-55a0-420a-9277-07fca8c201f4/image-asset.jpg How it works - Part of a movement - but a bit different Community energy projects like this are taking off all over Australia – and most of these communities want the same things that we do: carbon free, locally-generated power with financial benefits for the local community. Most community energy projects in Australia work like this: the community comes together to invest in a new solar or wind farm, and then buy their power back from it. But building a new solar farm in the middle of a city isn’t an option. So we decided to create a system to share the power you – and the rest of your community – already generate on your rooftops. Most people in Australia live in cities, so we think this new model has the potential to reshape the energy market completely by putting power back into the hands of our urban communities. https://www.villagepower.com.au/our-team daily 0.75 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/77f95b0b-0672-4934-9778-9a783811500e/Village-Power-9.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/d38c86c3-4052-4a88-8c56-ac52dd9f4832/Graeme-Martin.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/fe1a8699-7bd5-46dd-9e00-d52a7cfcea2d/Craig-Burton-2.jpeg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/ea9a960a-9ded-40e5-8873-e1559ae3f76a/Michael-Kane-1.jpeg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/07cc5e40-0a24-4b62-87e8-51a227db6967/Randall-Pearce-Headshot-1.jpeg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/29759b64-8852-4d0f-8ecf-2928e0e66373/JennyCrosbie.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/d3340d58-6fab-41d7-bb91-e84b83617c8d/RobinGaleBaker.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/2efa2e03-ddd6-4451-a277-3364dc0ac330/AnaSpataru2.jpg Our team https://www.villagepower.com.au/resources daily 0.75 2026-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/6f466dbc-c986-4a79-aa0b-c15e3fe4c66a/Screenshot+2026-06-25+at+1.08.32%E2%80%AFpm.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/3340d1ba-14b7-4d27-9a1b-96679cbadcfd/Snakes+and+ladders+-+Delivery+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/60d8ff9e-ea84-49b2-bbcd-7e9ef0752af9/mockup-of-a-broad-magazine-on-a-wooden-surface-1156-el.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/60d8ff9e-ea84-49b2-bbcd-7e9ef0752af9/mockup-of-a-broad-magazine-on-a-wooden-surface-1156-el.png https://www.villagepower.com.au/about-village-power daily 0.75 2026-06-26 https://www.villagepower.com.au/get-involved daily 0.75 2026-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/1557278899535-GMN5NXOV74PA1KY9QWXN/Join-our-mailing-list.png Get involved -
